Could We Be Facing The End To The Steelers?

they have some young QB's in the pipeline, rogers is still good but basically near retirement
with all my family from pittsburgh going back 3-4 generations I was practically born with a steelers hat on my head

The Steelers' "problem" is that they are never bad enough to get a good draft choice, but not good enough to go anywhere in the playoffs.
A lot of people blame Tomlin for what seem to be stupid strategic moves

Since you brought it up:

1. There are no good QBs in the pipeline for next year's draft that I'm aware of, especially considering next year's draft happens in Pittsburgh too, but at that, the city won't pick particularly high in the draft neither.
2. Rogers really showed his age and blinders last week in repeatedly passing by Steelers who were not only OPEN, but high and long-proven producers of points for the team for some buddy of his from back in his youth when they were pals in Green Bay. Even the pro bowl cornerback who blocked all three attempts on the Cleveland team could not believe Rogers was not only testing him, but on the same guy three times in a row!
3. Essentially, it was more important to Rogers that he win with a guy he knew and used to chum with to relive his glory days with an old buddy who has been on three teams this year, and only came up from the Steelers practice squad, than to trust more open people like Freirmuth, Gainwell and Warren. Losing to Cleveland in a game that would have cinched the division, actually having the lowest score of the season shows the Steelers are still the same as they have been for the last decade, a very poorly operated small market ever-shrinking franchise in continual rot.
4. Once again, just as the Steelers appeared to be earning some real respect back, they once again trip over their own feet face first.
5. The Steelers are actually setting records, always bad ones. Now they are tied for most longest streak in history on losing to every terrible team they meet that they should have beaten with a blindfold. Since 2020, every team the Steelers have played that was 8 games OR WORSE below .500, has kicked the Steeler's asses.
6. Confirmed from many different independent sources, everyone is literally scratching their heads wondering about some of the game's decisions from the coaches.

I've managed, been in charge of rugged men in life or death situations and I know how to get work out of them. It isn't just a matter of talent. Over the past decade, I first watch for year after year when I thought Big Ben was over the hill and should be traded or replaced yet they hung onto him like dead meat, and now there has been more TALENT go through the Pittsburgh's hands than I can shake a stick at, but the only position common to all these teams in all these years has been Mike Tomlin.

No matter who they put at QB, WR, RB, offense, defense, we get Mike Tomlin. The Steelers have blamed every coach on the team; if only they got rid of so and so. But they still get Mike Tomlin. The guy has always been a DEI bum. Tomlin is at best mediocre. Here is what is going to happen:

• In all likelihood next Sunday Night before the nation, the Steelers are going to make complete asses of themselves in their own stadium and go from being #4 seed to out of the picture not even playing in the Playoffs. Beaten and battered, the Ravens are going to reach down deep and ram it right down Pittsburgh's throat and out-think them, out-strategize them, and out-play them.
• Pittsburgh looks utterly useless with out Metcalf, more than useless, utterly unprepared and clueless without the guy.
• The only thing going for Pittsburgh is that even through the Ravens are on a high with momentum building steam, Pittsburgh played so bad last week and are so inconsistent that they might have a final "up" week this Sunday one last time.

None of it matters. Like every other year in the Tomlin Era, if by some miracle of luck the Steelers stumble forward into the Playoffs, they will immediately be trounced by an actual good team in their first meeting. The team always lacks consistency, preparedness, planning and good execution, except on those rare, unexpected occasions enough to delude a city into thinking they are really competing in professional football.

Until Pittsburgh wakes up and chucks Tomlin for a younger, meaner, smarter, testosterone-laden head coach with a winning, gritty, determined no-excuses way, what you see now is all you will ever have. But the Rooneys are very DEI and woke. I expect they will replace Tomlin with an even more DEI choice, you know, gotta keep proving how progressive a city Pittsburgh is!
